Need a new set more than likely. Going to Getty mine bench tested. But need good information beforehand just in case. 

 

Shed your knowledge on injectors on me. Who to go with and why. 

 

I've heard a bit but need set straight on some things. My DAP set is less than 40k on me and at least one of them is bad. I don't like that idea...

Should of sent the injectors to Idaho injection tech in Lewiston idaho. Still free to test and get pop values. I think it only 9 dollar an injector for tuning. 30 dollars is way too high period.

 

 

Yea at this rate,i think I'm going to...

So who pays the wages and buys the tools for the techs there, do they live on welfare? Who works for free these days?

Maybe you should come to Idaho.

 

I've been to their shop many times and every time they walk me back to the test bench and pop test the injectors for free. They only check for spray, pissy injectors and what they pop at. Beyond that if I want them tuned now they cost the $9 an injector to be tuned. Typically they suggest just replacement because you can buy injectors for lower price fully assembled than buying nozzles and rebuilding and pop tuning again. Idaho Diesel Tech is a really good shop and rebuilt a Ford 7.3 injection pump for $300 bucks. As for time invested they can pop test all 6 injectors in under 10 minutes typically. Very fast. Done right in front of me.

It'll be another attempt at calling Jacob tomorrow and if i get nowhere then I'll be calling him back. 

The only reason I would suggest an independent test, that way you either got 2 shops reporting the same issue or now you got two different stories which should raise questions on who is telling the truth. Just my way of validating the injectors and prevent issues.

Finally, a response from dap. But it wasn't Jacob. Talked to a rep and told me send them in. He said they shouldn't cost more than 100 dollars to bench them and fix them, even if they need new nozzles. 

 

So next opportunity i have, I'm going to get them sent over and we shall see what comes of it...

Sounds like a decent deal considering.

Tidbit... When I bought my injectors from Vulcan Performance I had random misfire issue at one point. Call Eric and I mailed the injectors back and tested and flow checked for free. The only difference I was still under warranty though. 

 

This why I kept my stock injectors so I have a fall back set.

Update!

 

So i got the injectors sent off last week. Called them Monday and they had finished them up that morning. Report says they all were a bit weak with one bad nozzle. 

 

Couldn't get a definitive answer on why such premature failure except maybe bad fuel. 

 

I wonder, if air is entrained in the fuel, could cavitation cause problems?

 

Needless to say, popped all the injectors set them and cleaned for  $100 and nozzle was $30.

 

Should see them back this week and hope to have them back in the truck this weekend! Might get to break out the tarp from all this rain though!

I'll give you 2 hours to install them. 

 ..I'm fired!

 

How about 4 or something? LOL

Either way I am glad to see it going your way for a change. 

Haha, it ain't over till it's over!

 

I still have to conduct Murphys law on my truck when i get them back. 

 

 

I got faith in you. I have only done mine once and found quite easy. But I did take my time and few beer breaks. Definitely took me more that 2 hours but dont remember how much. Since doing it once I could see doing it in 2 hours, minus the beer breaks of course. May Mr. Murphy smile on ya!!

Looks like 5 VCO and 1 SAC nozzle.

Logic tells me they should all be vco. I'm assuming there is nothing wrong running one sac nozzle with the others being vco?

I wouldn't, but thats just me.  I doubt you would ever notice....

Just called dap. guy seemed to think it was a problem as well. he's going to get back asap and we're looking into just getting a replacement nozzle overnighted.

 

Was just hoping to get these in Saturday.

 So much for Mr. Murphy....
